Smoking under hood i saw smoke come from under my hood. smells burning like. not sure what it was. thought about coolant, check looks good. looked at oil, a little low.
Could that be it, oil burning cause its low?
added about a quart.
can't thiink of anything else.

Rep Power: 288 burnning clutch has a smell like nothing else in the world.. if you cant tell what burnning coolant smells like... and you dont know what burnning oil smells like...
im not at all tryin to sound mean but you need to have someone else look at yer car....
also check yer tranny fluid while yer at it... for lack of better terms that i can think of at the moment it should be "nice red" not "brick red"... oil should be like "tea" brown not black..

Rep Power: 288 looking is a good thing... i suggest looking under your car and see if you are dripping oil.. chances are you will not see drops fall or anything like that.. but it would not hurt to back yer car out of where you have it parked.. look at the ground and see whats there for oil spots now (i only say this cuz not everyone has the same parking space day after day and not everyone is the only one that uses their space)... but yeah.. go check the ground under yer car now (before bed) and then take a look at it in the morning.. new oil spots are pretty easy to find cuz well... its new oil spots... its not that complicated..
you can also check for any other possiable fluids that are dripping..
if you are not lucky enough to have a clean parking space.. pizza boxes are GREAT for checking for oil.. just put it under yer engine on the ground.. if its windy.. put a rock on it...

Rep Power: 270 ok one thing to look at is your exhaust...something might have just falling on the exhaust and started burning on it......and it prolly just burnt away already.
